Justification for Brand Name

The acquisition specifies Starlink Mini Terminals due to a single-source justification citing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1). Market research indicates that only SpaceX's Starlink offers sufficient low-earth orbit satellites for reliable high-speed internet in moving vehicles, particularly in the Gobi region of Mongolia, where it has been tested and confirmed effective. The unique size and suitability of Starlink Mini Terminals for vehicle use in remote areas are critical for the mission's requirements.
